    Totally fair.

    Dumb ass should never have left his seat.

    I also laughed when reading the kid called his dad for permission before doing it.
     
  3. And what about the drunks who attacked the KC Royals base coach?

    Take them down to, Evil.

    Let's say a guy crosses the rope and starts running down like a mad fool around President Obama, do you let him go?

    But if the woman has huge tits, it's ok.

    Some of the hyperbole on this thread is hilarious.

    Where do you get some of your ridiculous comparisons? Not everything is black and white. Each situation is different. Was Obama on the field last night?

    Ask Erik Estrada:



    This kid was already tackled:



    People like to say "In a post 9/11 world, you never know . . . "

    Well, in a post-Gamboa world, stay off the damn field.

    Perhaps for Phillies fans, there should just be a seventh-inning taze.


    There's a video on the KC Star site: http://www.kansascity.com/2010/05/04/1922908/phillies-fan-tasered-on-field.html

    The guy is up and walking in a few seconds.

    But, I do think that the tazer has become a lot of cops' answer for everything, used as a punitive measure as much as to secure someone.

    Kid could have easily avoided getting tased. All he had to do was puke on the little girl in front of him.

    This, when combined with the photo in your sig, is awesome.

    You know who I want to hear from? The two guys that ran onto the field with Hank Aaron. I wonder how they'd feel about this.

    'You watch the video....'

    You have the luxury of watching the video. Security guards do not. They have someone on the field who has refused repeated orders to stop running. You don't want to stop? Fine, we'll stop you.

    What do these morons think will happen? A little stern glance from security, like it's 5th grade recess?

    Tasers are supposed to be used instead of deadly force, is there any instance in this video that shows deadly force would have ever been needed?
